  • Importing Georeferenced data (DEMs, Point Clouds, ...) and computing TMs, STMs, 3SMs in Georeferenced DGNs - ISSUE and WORKAROUND

    There is an issue affecting referencing/importing georeferenced data (Point Clouds, Digital Elevation Models in any format).

    If the source data and the DGN file have a coordinate system (it may be the same) then elevations will be wrong.
    Depending on the data/use case, the offset may be large or less detectable.
